I have to create a web site for a design company. Client's requirements are

  1. Site must be fast loading
  2. Site must be optimized for SEO - planning for a paid SEO process after site launch
  3. Must integrate with facebook and other social networking sites.

The client will take care of the rest SEO processes. Now I just need to made a SEO friendly fast loading website.

I am new to this SEO process and bit confused about the framework to choose for the work.

Can anyone please suggest me a best and efficient framework in PHP for the process ?

From a lots of googling I found that Wordpress and Joomla! suits me.

But Joomla! is little bit heavy am I ?

These site contents a simple slide show and some articles and videos and protfolio and a contact form thats all

Any advises?

Well, for fast loading you just need to be careful on which plugins to use, some load very slowly and have poor code.

You also can use a cache plugin, that will store DB queries on HD and use them later instead of remaking the same query on every pageload.

In the theme, use a clean one, that makes less WP calls. If pageload speed is realy a requirement, remove less needed information, like tag list (in this case u'll lose a bit of SEO value too) and some widgets.

The most important thing in SEO is avoiding external links that will take you juice out. I have a email and url obfuscation plugin, but I couldn't find it right now in wordpress plugins page.

Then use good permalink structure, choose wisely post slugs, build a proper page title, etc.

I am an SEO expert and I find that Wordpress, even without plugins is very SEO friendly and not as complex as Joomla.

One SEO plugin I highly recommend is Yoast SEO http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

Another on is WP super cache to speed up the site http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

Hope this helps ;)
